This new version is looking good, there's a few nice presentation elements appearing also which are nice. These days to seem to be all about representation these days.   I like the controls, they feel pretty intuitive.  But are you going to allow vertical swapping or not ?   Looking at the code I'm still bemused why you're not using a 2d array for the board.

Hi All

This new version is looking good

yep trying to put in a bit more time with this one , not so much of a rush job

But are you going to allow vertical swapping or not ?

well i have tried , i just cant seem to get the new tiles to drop properly , not for trying spent days trying to do it
but i didnt want to spend anymore time with this and continued the game , if all goes well will come back to this at the end

Looking at the code I'm still bemused why you're not using a 2d array for the board

err dont know if i could worked it out that way , i just went a way that seem to work for me

at the moment im doing the timer bar which will double up as a suction fan that gets the gold nuggets(coal) and other coal out of the carts to the serface (top of screen) after the carts are fall , that way the sane carts can be used on other levels,
i am also trying to vary the levels so they dont seem the same all the time ,
still lots to do , will get more time tomorrow now , bit by bit its getting there

hi all

very well done. i like the timer thing. it really adds pressure and tension. still trying to get 60 nuggets!

yep its coming  along slowly , trimed code down slightly , still more gfx's to do , decided to have a sucking tunnel each side , this will come into effect more later levels in the game , may make it more easier , anyway see how it goes

ok back to game

Geez, do you ever sleep or do anything besides PlayBASIC ?? You kick out more stuff in 1 yr than I have in 10, guess I'm just lazy....
